This week’s highlights
- Fighting words from Amazon over JEDI loss.
- Microsoft has gone to crazy town with their AWS connector pricing.
- Oracle taps their inner millennial to win the Tik Tok U.S bid.
General: A Bit Picky
- Business App Platform Progress will acquire automation technology company Chef for $220 million. That’s a bargain price when you look at their recurring revenue.
- Pentagon reaffirms Microsoft as winner of $10B JEDI cloud contract. Nobody says the government is the most efficient at doing anything so picking the second best cloud vendor is unsurprising.
- AWS has responded to the Pentagon reaffirmation of Azure with a harshly worded blog post. Well, life’s just not fair.
- Foghorn Consulting (sponsor alert!) are teaming up with Hashicorp and sponsoring a virtual Q&A with Kelsey Hightower on September 24. Head to The Cloud Pod Slack page after to discuss!
Amazon Web Services: You’ll Need Some Pain Relief
- AWS named Cloud Leader in Gartner’s Infrastructure & Platform Services Magic Quadrant. Gartner, are you listening to The Cloud Pod?
- Amazon CloudFront now supports Transport Layer Security v1.3 for improved performance and security. Good move for privacy, but will cause a lot of pain.
- Amazon CloudWatch now monitors Prometheus metrics to reduce monitoring tools needed for application performance degradation and failures. Might be worth the money —
